Abstract

Reforming adult and continuing education has become a key issue in an era defined by relentless change borne of constant technological advancements. The traditional education paradigm where instructors transfer knowledge to students–often likened to a pen writing on a blank page–is deemed insufficient to meet the needs of the 21st century. As curricula evolve, teachers need to learn new skills and even unlearn outdated ones to serve as mentors and facilitators in the classroom.
